‘All My Children’ Revival Updates: Lifetime EVP Speaks on Why Proposed Movies are Great Fit, Mark Consuelos Wants To ‘Give Back’ to Fans
The All My Children revival via movies at Lifetime is still in the works from former series stars and marrieds, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, through their production company, Milojo.
The co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark were featured this week in a Los Angeles Times article which detailed their efforts to bring some of the citizens of Pine Valley back to your screens.
As previously reported, and reaffirmed by the L.A. Times, the All My Children movies will be set in the present day and focus on what beloved characters such as Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) and Maria Santos Gray (Eva LaRue) are doing now. In addition, Kelly Ripa confirmed that she and Mark Consuelos will also appear on screen briefly most likely appearing in their signature soap roles as Hayley and Mateo Santos.

ALL MY CHILDREN MOVIES BRING NOSTALGIA THAT CAN BE MADE TO FEEL NEW AGAIN
Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive vice president and head of programming for A&E, Lifetime, and Lifetime Movie Network said of the All My Children reboot, “Lifetime is always interested in shows that kind of tap into a powerful nostalgia that can be made fresh for today’s audience. There’s a whole generation of women that have missed these stories and these characters.”
As for working with Kelly and Mark on the Lifetime movie versions of the soap, “They’re exactly the kind of partners you want at a brand,” expressed Bryant. “They’re trusted voices because every day they’re talking to their audience, which, a lot of times, is our audience. They bring a real credibility and have an authentic point of view. You meet Kelly and Mark and kind of what you see is what you get, and I think they bring that same authenticity to their development standards.”
Albert Bianchini, executive producer for Milojo, says he knows All My Children is so wildly popular with the fans of daytime. That was punctuated when seeing it in person, and how the energy was off the charts back in January of 2025 when Kelly participated along with Susan Lucci, former head writer, Lorraine Broderick and casting director, Judy Blye Wilson in a conversation with Andy Cohen at the 92nd Street Y in New York City.

“I’ve never seen a crowd like that in my life. People were lined up around the block, recalled the Bianchini. “Everyone wanted to know, ‘When is (All My Children) coming back? We want more.’ We got to see that in real life and Kelly got to feel it in real life, and it made so much sense. I just know that the minute it gets out in the world, people will want more and more and more. There’s just a love there.”
Kelly Ripa added that they are, “working closely with Bob and Sarah Nixon, who are also serving as producers.” She recalled, “She (Agnes Nixon) was so far ahead of her time. She covered topics that weren’t being covered. It was extraordinary the audiences that the show drew, and she served them real stories that were affecting Americans across the country but weren’t necessarily being represented anywhere.”
“It’d be wonderful to give the fans something that they’ve been yearning for so many years,” shared Mark Consuelos. “All My Children gave me my family. I met my wife there. It gave me my start in the business. It gave us so much. It would be a dream to be able to give back.”
THE CANCELLATION AND STOPS AND STARTS OF ALL MY CHILDREN REBOOTS
All My Children aired on ABC from 1970 to 2011. It got a second chance at life when Prospect Park resurrected the show and brought it to The OnLine Network and Hulu for one season in 2013.
Recently, the series made a return through the estate of Agnes Nixon and is streaming internationally on BEONDTV and through their partnership with PlutoTV Canada with episodes starting in 1995. Fans hope original episodes will some day soon be available in the U.S. as well, but that could prove more difficult since ABC owns the rights to the episodes stateside.
Now 13 years later, while there is no word yet on a definitive production start date to the two movies at Lifetime, all the people involved seemed determined to make it come to life.
So, what do you think of the executive vice-president of Lifetime and LMN being enthusiastic about Kelly and Mark’s All My Children movie revivals? Are you wanting to see this come to fruition? Kelly and Mark seem to have made this a very high priority. Do you hope that by 2027 we might be able to get this to the finish the line and into production? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Starting on May 1, All My Children fans in Canada will be able to see classic episodes of the beloved former ABC soap opera when they stream on Pluto TV Canada.
Pluto TV picked-up the All My Children Channel that the Nixon family has created in partnership with BEONDTV +. The show which aired for 41 years on ABC and ended on the network in 2011, had so many memorable storylines and characters; the least of which is the enduring run of Erica Kane played by soap icon, Susan Lucci.
As previously reported, starting with episodes from the year 1995, which was the 25th anniversary of the soap. Pluto TV Canada viewers will be able to catch 8 episodes on repeat per day. With the success of the venture, the Nixons are hopeful that they will bring viewers many more years of the show to come.

Sarah Nixon, producer, shared with Michael Fairman TV exclusively, “We are thrilled that Pluto TV has launched All My Children in Canada! Let’s hope the engagement from our incredibly loyal fans across the border will encourage ABC to bring it to the U.S.! We share what Aggie (Agnes Nixon) always felt, that it is the enthusiasm and love from the fans that has kept this legacy beloved and relevant – to this day!”
In addition, 0ne week ago, during Susan Lucci’s visit to Los Angeles promoting her book La Lucci, she was joined by her former Pine Valley castmates, Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee, AMC, now Taylor, B&B) and Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) and the trio posed for a pic. At that time, LaRue shared via Instagram, “NEW All My Children channel streaming classic episodes 24/7 now on Pluto TV Canada! Fingers crossed to watch soon on Pluto US.”
That was also confirmed this week by TV Watercooler’s Jeevan Brar who took to X and expressed, “The All My Children channel begins streaming this Friday, May 1 on Pluto TV Canada.
So, Canadian viewers, excited about Pluto TV’s All My Children channel? United States fans, hopeful from Sarah’s message that perhaps soon, we can see the beloved soap once again as well? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

OMG OMG OMG – i am sooooooooo happy – i absolutely adore michael e knight!!!
i am having heart palpitations right now…………………just hope tptb do him justice & write an awesome story for him…………i watched amc from the beginning to the end & i loved “tad the cad”………………
My sentiments exactly, elm31. He feels like family.
Hallelujah!!!! I can’t believe this. Bring it home, Michael.
I have missed him so much, Harry. YES!!!!
I tuned into AMC off and on for a look-see, and I do remember Tad..
But– I’d bet he will be nothing as Tad on Y&R but still the charisma is there ..
I saw this headline and I said OMG three times just like you! After Crazy Kelly got killed I sort of lost interest inY&R. I wish Vincent I. would join Y&R instead of Days. Ratings will go up for both soaps because Tad and David were loved by all AMC fans. Can’t wait to see M.K. again! Hooray! Hooray!
Me, too! I don’t know if I can stand the wait!
He was great as the unforgettable Tad Martin. It was rumored very strongly that he was to return as Tad to the atrocious on-line version of ALL MY CHILDREN if it ever returned under the usual shroud of mystery that was PROSPECT PARK.
I am glad for Michael Knight, he is a fine actor, and while I don’t follow The Young and the Restless I wish him well.
Screaming from the rafters, WOO HOO! And I am not even a woo hoo kind of person.
Or an all cap kind of person, and certainly not an exclamation point kind of person!
But I am a Michel Knight kind of person and Christmas came early for me it seems.
He’s been missed. I do hope the writing is up to par for him.
Y&R failed his fellow AMC alumni— the very talented Debbie Morgan and Darnell Williams. Let us hope that they don’t do the same for the also incredibly talented Michael Knight.
You are so right. Y&R definitely failed Debbi Morgan and Darnell Williams and Genie Francis. Hopefully, the same mistakes won’t be made with Michael E. Knight with Charles Pratt, Jr. penning the story.
don’t forget what they did to cady mcclain’s character on y&r………………….
IKR? What a waste of 2 of the finest talents in the industry! SMH.
Don’t forget the wrong they did to the lovely and ta Cady McClain…. hope they get it right this time
hi Torqumada,
What was done to Cady on Y&R was done by the 2 fired writers Jean and Shelly that are now the new head writers of GH..
and what was done to Debbie Morgan and Darnell Williams at Y&R was a sin..
Rons writing is going on until mid-oct, then they take over.
Su….no…you are wrong. What was DONE to the character of Kelly was done solely by Chuck Pratt. He turned her into a raving lunatic, not Jean and Shelly. Dont let a little thong like TRUTH or FACTS stanr in your way though. You never do.
hi Dylan..
It was Jean and Shelly who turned Kelly;
Cady McClain, who debuted in the role on April 16, 2014. On May 29, 2015, McClain made her final appearance as Kelly.
Pratt– January 16, 2015 – Present
Shelly Altman. Passanante’s tenure was from December 23, 2013 to March 18, 2015..
Cady’s April 16, 2014
final appearance on May 29, 2015
OK–
I was close lol
J&S wrote for Cady/Kelly until March 18 a month ahead they wrote for Kelly until April..
Kelly died in May..
Kelly was written by J&S and then Pratt had a month to kill her LOL
close real close .. as to witch writer killed Kelly..
( no need to bite me ..
Su000, Dylan is correct/ Jean and Shelly may have created the character of Kelly, but it was Pratt who killed her off after making her go bat shit crazy.
Cady and her character deserved better than that.
I did not like Cady MCclain as Dixie on AMC or as Rosanna on ATWT..JMO..Cynthia Watros WAS who the character of Kelly should have been all along but that fickle actress runs from soap to primetime to soap to primetime..she gains a little more critical acclaim on daytime and parlays it into primetime work..I ain’t mad her..but she was the vision of Kelly and abruptly left..This time around with Michael Knight at least he is originating a character and not replacing an actor in one..so whatever they write he will wholeheartedly bring it..that being said he will be mixed up with Ian and Victor and somebody’s pregnancy and be outright slimy and then redeemed into a character we love to see knowing he can be flawed…I am davlestev1 and I am a MEDIUM…lol..but i can wear a large..see what i did there?
I concur, David.
Do you happen to know what head writer was at the helm when Michael E Knight’s Tadd was given that horrid buried alive story? This was near the time Erica’s allegedly aborted fetus manifested his personage and reeked havoc on Erica’s life. The aforementioned is what broke my life long AMC habit.
Tadd was written so horrifically out of character.
Please don’t tell me it was Pratt.
Harry that would be Megan McTavish who had Bianca raped. .reversed Ericas abortion and killed off Dixie Cooney Martin
GREAT NEWS..LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HIM AGAIN!
I love MIchael but I have to say he would have been great on GH as Elizabeth’s long lost dad Jeff Webber. Since he’s on recurring status maybe GH will wake up & see a story with Elizabeth, that’s an avenue that’s not be explored yet
Love your idea, Candy. I would like to see the Webber clan have a stronger presence in Port Charles.
GREAT idea!!!
Love this.
Not a big fan of Elizabeth. But now that they’ve made her a wee devious and less of a goody goody I’m actually enjoying her.
Candy, what about David Canary (Adam Chandler) coming to GH as a long lost Quartermaine? They need a new patriarch! And Erika Slezak could play his wife.
Those two would make perfect Quartermaines.
How about bringing back the REAL Quartermaines? Another dead promise from the failed and thankfully fired Ron Carlivati. I am SOOOO glad his infuence is gone from the show. Its like a breath of fresh air has been let into the show! The last scripts that Carlivati had a hand in aired in mid August, and the difference since then has been night and day! Glory Hallelujah!
Also, a comment from another site suggested that Michael Knight would have been a good “Tucker McCall” (Devon’s dad) on Y & R.
This seems like a good idea, too…alas, he is a new character on Y&R, and I wish him well!
I love Michael and very happy for him. I don’t watch Y&R but I’m sure he’ll do well
It’s embarrassingly crazy how happy this makes me. When AMC got cancelled, that was the biggest loss for me – seeing good Tad on my screen. MEK brought a real blend of humor and pathos to that role and I just hope that YR (which I watch sporadically) gives him something worthy. Awesome news!!!! But I bet I can predict what he’s mixed up in – if I see another baby switching plot (Sharon stealing Saige’s baby) or another gaslighting plot (Victor doing it to fill-in-the-blank), I’ll yawn. I’ll watch it, but I’ll yawn. lol.
Young and the Restless, like all shows, has been dreadful at stunt casting in the last several years. General rule…DO NOT CAST DAYTIME ROYALTY IN DAY PLAYER, THROWAWAY ROLES!!!!!! Michael Knight is a multiple Emmy winner, and they are signing him up in the part of an evil doctor and of course the role will go nowhere. I would never have thought this in a million years….but whoever said he would make a good Tucker hit the nail on the head. The character of Tucker was Ill-conceived at best and never really caught on despite heavy weight Stephen Nichols playing him. But Michael could bring a fun, devil may care attitude to the role, and him and Ashley could have a great time. Soap writers have to stop thinking about their short term sweep stunt plotting and think long term.
Yes..you are so right. The first person to really get into the
Actors personaloty and their roles and do they match up
And the fact that they are putting heavy hitter award winning
Actors in these little character roles. We got Tad for 31 years
We wont settle for Dr. Nevelle being on for only 6 months and
him moving away or being buried alive. LOL. We love Michael E
Knight. Let his character soar…he has secets to tell and the will be
something..long lost father of someone it son…maybe he’s a Newman or an
Abbot…someones grandfather….we shall see….
Didn’t watch AMC. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the show and his acting and the story.
I never watched AMC but knew of him. If AMC fans are happy, so am I. I’ve always said, cast former soap stars BEFORE any others if the part is right. Welcome Michael. PS: I would like him to be a long lost brother of Michael Baldwin and Kevin Fisher. I think those three guys in the same room would be magical!
They have enough long lost brothers and sisters running around out there.
Terrible Tom was a bad boy!
OMG. I’m so happy to have Michele (Tad) back on daytime soaps. He will do well on any soap show. People love & missed him so much. I hope it turns out to be a full time gig for him & his fans. Can’t wait. Yippee
I hope they give him a great story. I just loved him on AMC. One of my first soap crushes. I could see him mixing it up with Ashley.
Or maybe he could get together with Nikki when Victor finally goes to prison to pay for the laundry list of crimes for which he must pay!!! Oh, sorry I was dreaming….
Yahoo!!! Best. News. Ever. So happy to see he’ll be on the canvas, ANY canvas, any soap, again. I’d even watch DOOL if he was on there. (Didn’t mean any disrespect, I just never got into that show and it airs opposite GH here.)
So very happy to have him back on daytime. And I feel like the role of Dr. Simon Neville could be a great potential for him, as a longterm benefactor on The Young and the Restless. My only complaint is that he could’ve have acted opposite Cady McClain (ex-Kelly).
They never showed Kelly’s dead body so your wish could come true!
I would love it, as Cady had major potential as Kelly on Y&R. It’s just a shame that the character’s direction went the way that it naturally did.
Ideally they would pair him Eileen Davidson but I have a feeling he’ll be part of that Neil/Hillary mess of a story…
Wooo hoooo!
When I saw his picture and the post said he would be playing a doctor, even before I got to the “mysterious” part, all I could think of was the doctor that raped Eden on SANTA BARBARA. I sure hope Pratt and Phelps don’t repeat this plot.
I hope they don’t make MEK a villain. Even when he played a deeply flawed character who was up to no good, one couldn’t help but see that mischievous glint in his eyes and know that he was a basically a good person.
I recall when he played Tad the Cad and was having an affair with Liza and her mother Marian Colby. Mrs. Colby bought him jewelry and black leather pants–he was her boy toy. HA! He was hilarious.
Tad made you laugh but he could also make you cry as realized when he mourned the death of his little sister, Jenny Gardner. I do hope they don’t waste his talent making him play some mustache twitching villain.
And speaking of The Mustache, as Tad Michael E Knight went up against the formidable Adam Chandler so it follows he can hold his own with Victor.
Hey dear Harry..
The ‘real’ Tad was his writer ..
the actor acts the role the writer creates for him life,
the writers are the characters LOL 😉
Boy that was some digging into the archives. I was just a young whipper snapper with Tad’s sister Jenny dying. My mom started watching AMC when she was on maternity leave with me. She stuck with it for several years so I have a vague recollection of these stories. I did become fond of it myself when I was in my teens/20s. It’s a shame how that show was destroyed.
I love Knight as well and don’t want to see him become a joke, but with whom we are dealing, I haven’t much hope for a good story or character.
Suoo, far be it for me to correct you but you don’t seem to understand the translation which occurs between writing and acting. The best writers in the world cannot make a character come alive and be fleshed out accordingly if the acting isn’t there. Please don’t explain the obvious to me and then I won’t have to explain what figurative truth is all about.
Harry…I do miss the elegance of Adam Chandler and the warmth of his alter-ego brother Stuart. ( And even Susan Lucci). Also you really are a glutton for punishment when it comes to Su. You keep trying, and trying…
Oh Rose, thank you.
I want to jump on the positive–Michael Knight is returning to our screen.
Yes, I know this is a reoccurring role and the writing may not be up to par, however, MEK has a way of making things work.
After all, when he first appeared as Tad Martin on AMC all those years ago he was supposed to be a bad guy. But that impish grin, those glinting eyes made him rise above the material.
I realize I am being naive but I am just going to focus on that right now.
Also, while I am happy that people have jobs (happy for Michael E. Knight), what about Judith Chapman?! That woman can act CIRCLES around all of the so-called “talent” on the screen currently.
Gloria is needed for her family and comedic relief, I mean ACTUAL comedic relief and not the kind of laughs we get now where the writing is so bad it is funny, but not in a good way. 😉
Is Michael E. Knight with contract? or a short stay? or what ?
He’s recurring not contract. It sounds like he’s being brought in for a specific storyline although they didn’t give details on length of storyline. If fans like a character, they sometimes get on permanent. I hope he does well and has a character that lets his humor shine through. Not sure how he’ll do playing a doctor. This is where we’ll see if he’s truly an “actor”! Woo hoo.
Her and Jeff need to open a new restaurant ASAP! The club with Lilly and Cane is old!
Yes! Thank you! Phelps burning down Gloworm in favor of (no one sees it anymore) stupid On the Boulevard was the worst thing. Billy doesn’t even own it anymore either.
Yes! Yes! and Yes! Judith Chapman needs to be back on for her multitude of talents. Wish they’d let me write this show. JFP would be killed off in a fiery explosion right along with CP Jr.
Get a petition going … I’ll sign. 🙂
Love her. Love her. Love her! Bring back Judith Chapman!
Yes! See all these intelligent people who know TALENT when they see it … or don’t see it these days. 🙁
I miss Gloria so much. And yes, soaps need some comedy relief to balance the heaviness.
Smart woman! Y&R NEEDS Judith Chapman and her Gloria!
Judith Chapman is exceptional; a talent wasted on her meager scripts for the “Young and the Restless.” Yes, yes, this soap needs to lighten the very dark and dismal path that has been followed this past year. Why on earth did the writers extend the Neal, Hilary, whatever the name of the young man is, story. I simply cannot watch their escapades.
I agree about the Winters triangle. Total FF material for me. Neal can be an ass, but I can’t believe he’d go this far. Creepy but not in a good way IMO.
I loved Michael as Tad. Hope he took into account the strange misuse of Cady McClain on TY&TR
Yeah…the love of his life; Dixie.
Poor Cady.
You’re absolutely right. If he doesn’t have a good story to play, it won’t matter how hot the actor is.
No one mentioned “hot”. The man is pushing 60. We are talking about a daytime vet who deserves a quality character and writing, not to be saddled with a stupid short term part.
Dylan – that’s what I said. He needs a good story. When I said hot I meant popular, in demand, lots of fans …..
YES!!!!!!! Praise Jeebus.
Fantastic news! We have missed Micheal E. Knight onscreen for so long! Cannot wait until Oct 15th!
I am glad to see Michael on daytime again but I am NOT happy he is coming to Y and R with an EP and Head Writer that are horrible and cant even deal with the talented yet over abundant cast they already have.
Love Michael E. Knight. Maybe something interesting on Y&R. It will be good to see him again.
Sure, let them turn YR into AMC…..,
Not following how bringing Michael on is turning YR into AMC. Are you referring to Charles Pratt also being there? Oooh, maybe he’s responsible for hiring MEK. I suddenly like Pratt a little!
Love Michael and glad he has found work, even in a recurring role. I don’t watch Y and R. There is no need to pair him with any Dixie type character, she died three times but should have stayed dead the first time. No need to bring Cady McLain into the picture either.
wish he could have had storyline with Cady they should bring her back ,we didn’t see a body did we?? lol..they had so much chemistry together!!
I have never watched AMC so not familiar with Michael Knight; However, I am not impressed with his acting abilities on Y &R. He acts very goofy and odd. Very unnecessary storyline. I wish his whole persona could change. I have Ben watching Y&R since 1972 and this guy is annoying!!
